Infrastructure Bill Rewards Blue States For Driving Up Immigration To U.S.
https://swiftheadline.com ^ | Aug 9, 2021

The so-called bipartisan “infrastructure” bill, backed by Senate Democrats and 18 Senate Republicans, would reward blue states with federal money for driving up immigration levels to the United States.

The bill, among other things, includes the Digital Equity Act that would help expand broadband to American communities that currently lack access to the internet.

Slipped into the legislation are provisions allocating federal funding based on the number of newly arrived immigrants in a state or region — a design that rewards blue states who tend to have the largest foreign-born populations in the nation…

… California, for example, would be the primary winner of the legislation with a foreign-born population at about 24 percent, the highest in the nation. Behind California is Texas, with a foreign-born population of nearly 11 percent, Florida with a foreign-born population of 9.8 percent, and New York with a foreign-born population of 10 percent.

More importantly, the nation’s top 10 counties with the highest foreign-born populations are primarily deep blue areas controlled by Democrats including Los Angeles County, California; Miami-Dade County, Florida; Harris County, Texas; Cook County, Illinois; Queens County, New York; San Diego County, California; and Santa Clara County, California, among others.

These areas could be first in line to receive funding to expand broadband.

Meanwhile, red states and counties such as North Dakota, Idaho, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Arkansas, Missouri, South Carolina, Nebraska, Kansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, West Virginia, and Kentucky would lose out on such funds to expand broadband potentially because none have significant foreign-born populations.

While Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) has helped stall the bill in the Senate, 18 Senate Republicans voted with Democrats this weekend to advance the bill…

The ‘RATS are DESPERATE to pass this bill before Thursday’s release of July’s Cost-of-Living Index rise. IMHO, it’s gonna be a doozy.

The Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) has been the largest and most important project of the last 30 years.

“with a foreign-born population at about 24 percent”

Which is the highest it ever was, including the 19th century.

Tell me - why were the United States and especially California in need of colonization 200 years after the country was started, and 130 years after California broke away from Mexico to be a republic and then a state in the United States?

We were told in the late ‘60s that our country was “overpopulated” by the Sierra Club and even Richard Nixon. Big families of evil Americans were too much! Have “replacement” kids or better yet none!

And then they turn around and open the flood gates.

Maybe...just maybe...the people who call themselves “The Government” really don’t...like us.

And then this bill goes to conference with the House and this bill will get substantially worse. Then, it comes back needing just 50 votes plus VP?

.

The GOP would step in and Vote for it.

The bottom line is they keep pushing Biden’s agenda, and you hear nothing about the Biden Foreign Cash Machine or Jr. flicking paint onto paper for $500,000

Nothing about China-Swalwell, nothing about Debt drowning future generations, nothing about Trillions for Social Engineering.

The Democrats are traitors. They are doing EVERYTHING for foreign people who come here and keep them in power including this AND doing everything to force people to get vaccinated for Covid in order to fill the coffers of big pharma who donate HEAVILY to the Democrats. All of this is treason, making decisions that are contrary to the interest of the citizens of the nation.
